This is a tough question! I'm not sure I could do it! I'd definitely go with a one-size diaper for the obvious reason that it lasts longer. I'd want a pocket style so I can change the absorbency as needed and adjust it. And, I'd have a hard time going with a diaper that didn't come in cute colors or prints! I'd have to say RumpaRooz one size or FuzziBunz. I haven't tried BumEssentials yet, so hopefully I win some and can add that to my list!

One style and brand — that is a tough one! I'm gonna go with the new GroVia hybrid diaper. I've been using prefolds and wraps for the first three months of my son's diapering career, and it's time to step it up. I like the prefolds, but I'm ready for a one size. The GroVia has a cover that is reusable, which makes it more affordable. They have a couple of different leak-prevention features, and they're coming out with an OWL print! Yay! 😉

a one size and probably bum genius. The suedcloth is the most agreeable for my daughters sensitive skin, and the one size save on having to but multiple sizes after a few months. My other pick would be a hybrid of some kind so i could have the disposible to use at night.

If I had to pick on diaper to stick with it would probably be my Mother-Ease one size fitted. I love how soft and absorbant they are, and how easy they are to use. I have a variety of diapers though, and would hate to have to pick one!

I would choose the flip AI2 I really like the idea of this diaper because the insert is not covered up by the tin piece of material like an AI1 I find with the AI1 that that thin piece stains easily and takes a lot of work to keep clean. I also LOVE the idea of the disposable liners for when we are out and about. I feel like this diaper is the best of all worlds!

Well I havent tried many different brands but so far my favorites are Rumparooz G2 and the GoGreen Pocket Diapers. They are both awesome in leak control and have the cutest designs. Rumparooz puts a pinch on my wallet, but I love the 6r Soaker. GoGreen is everything of an expensive diaper but much easier on my wallet.

I have many styles and brands, to choose only one, o'my! Babykicks- they are super absorbent for night time, but trim enough for day time wearing. They are one size and made of 100% recycled material…yay!

Hmmm…that is a tough one! I think that I might choose GroVia! One-size hybrid diapers. They have a nice slim fit. I like that you can reuse the shell by snapping in a new soaker and you can adjust for extra absorbency by adding a booster. I have not had the chance to try out the bio-soakers or bio-liners, but they seem like a great addition to the system.

I can't, I just can't. Prefolds/covers b/c its the cheapest and fastest drying. AIOs for the total ease of diapering of squirming child and no extra steps….so I guess pockets combine those pros with the only con….stuffing!

I've not tried a Bum Essentials so I will try to go for this one! 🙂 The style I have to say is pockets. I LOVE my pockets. I've tried going back to my prefolds and covers and they just don't hit my fancy like pockets. Pockets are just so simple. Now as far as the brand, that is a very difficult decision to make. For my 16 month old my favorite brand is the KnickerNappie. She is a big chunky girl and the KN is the only one that I have found to fit her thighs and tummy with room to grow till potty training. I love the side snaps (took some getting used to), and the inserts (mf) hold well while being very trim. For my 7 week old son would be FuzziBuns one size. The inserts are thick and absorbent and having the adjustable elastic is so nice (no bunching with rise snaps). What I really like with them on a newborn is the narrowness between the legs. I'm still trying more, so this may change! 🙂

That's such a tough question. I'm really loving my new Flips. They fit well and are very trim under my daughter's clothes. But I also like my fitted fuzzibunz too, they are a little fluffier, but are really absorbent. It would be so much easier if the questions was which kind I don't like!

This is a hard question, because I haven't tried nearly as many brands of diapers as I would like to! 🙂 If I had to pick just one, it would be a pocket or hybrid diaper because of the ease of adjusting the absorbency. I love AI2s during the day, but prefer pockets for poopy diapers and night time. I'd love to try the Softbums OMNI. I already know I love my Echo, so with the added pocket, I think I could live off that one alone. Especially with the way it adjusts in size via the toggle! So I'm going to say the Softbums OMNI!

Tough one! I'm actually going to have to choose two because I'd go with fitteds and covers. I know they are so popular so I'm not saying anything new, but I really love all of our Goodmamas. We have a bunch of different brands of fitteds and they have the best combination of fit (both now and in the future), absorbency, and quality of materials.

For covers I'd pick Blueberry coveralls. Again, they combine a lot of the features that are important for us: snaps, gussets, one-size-ness (yes, I made that word up).

I think we all ask a lot out of our diapers and these two brands/styles do the most for us.

So this changes every other month, but right now I would pick Fuzzibunz perfect size. I bought five when they had their overstock sale that ended in October and I am in LOVE. They fit so great and are very absorbent and I have had ZERO leaks! Love them!

I guess I'd go with Green Mountain prefolds and Thirsties Duo Wraps, since that's all I've ever used for cloth diapering, aside from gDiapers. I'd love to try out the BumEssentials!maria.the.uncommon at gmail dot com

If I had to choose one style/brand of diaper to use I think it would be Fuzzibunz Perfect size diapers. I love pockets and am a huge fan of RARs and BGs but I really love the fit of the Perfect Size FB. They are also very trim and I haven't had any leaks with them!

I would pick bumgenius! AIOs. These fit well, are trim, have stay dry next to baby's skin and you can stuff them. These are my go-to diaper for traveling (short trips). I'm always confident my baby is comfortable when she's in this diaper.

For the question of the week, I would choose the flips diaper because it has been the best so far for my daughter with no leaks. She is only a few months old though and my answer may change since I just purchased BG, Rumparooz and Fuzzibunz.

I'm using gdiapers with a cloth insert right now, and I love them. I like that the velcro tabs feel like a disposable diaper, so it has the same kind of convenience, but they open to the back so tiny hands are less likely to open the diaper up 🙂

I would have to say my KAWAII"S, thees diapers are made so well and are holding up so strong compared to my other more expensive brands. I find that I'm asking myself why? For the money and simplicity of a pocket they are great!!

One style and brand of cloth diaper that I would choose would be the Bumgenius Elemental, this would be because they are the most simple and reliable. They seem to always get the job done and are not complicated for other people to use that are not familiar with CDing.

As a mother hoping to start cloth diapering soon, I have no idea which brand works better for us. I guess I want something that my daughter can use for a while so a one-size diaper is all I can think of right now..

Which diapers would I opt for?I am new to mothering and use Indian pre-folds someone gave me – but am looking into one size type cloth diapers now that my baby is outgrowing the diapers I have. Really, I have no favourite, but would like to dabble a bit in the world of cheap diapering.t

I would pick to be Kawaii OS Pocket because the soft inside against my baby's allergic bottom has been wonders. Also its inserts are extremely easy to clean with no staining, and last easy for childcare settings.

I'd go with Knickernappies OS because the Super-do is my must have night diaper, the OS actually seem like they will fit DS a year from now (he's 24lbs at 7 months), and the diapers are made in the USA!

If you had to pick one style and brand of cloth diaper what would it be and why?

I like one-size, pocket styles with snaps. My favorite has to be Katydid, the fabric and colors are great. I really want to try a few new style like the Flip and the Knickernappies one-size side snap. I also like the Dream-Eze all in one because it is trimmer in between the legs for my daughters chubby thighs. Easy for my husband to use and fits nicely across the waist with the side snaps.

I would pick the imse vimse fitted all in ones. They are not the easiest to dry or the trimmest, but they NEVER leak. I would love it if you guys could start carrying them. I got 3 secondhand and I am in LOVE but no one carries them. Seriously I am begging here, I will have to buy the smaller sizes with my next baby and the only place I see them is their website.

I haven't had a chance to try out all of the diaper brands and styles I am interested in because we just started in September with our newborn and have only made it through prefolds & fitteds with Thirsties Duo Wraps. Which we love…but I am really interested in the Bum Genius 4.0's – I want our older baby stash to be snaps and one-size!

If I had to pick just one (which would be impossible) and if $ were no object, I'd have stacks of Rumparooz! Great at keeping everything in, and they last through the night with some extra stuffing. Very adjustable too.

I would love AIO with velcro if it is good quality, otherwise snaps. I love that the Bummis Easy Fits have an insert that is sewn in, but can be pulled out for laundry! That makes it sooo easy!rastrassbur at gmail dot com

If I could only choose one brand and style of diaper I would go with BG 4.0's in snap. Even thought they're more expensive, I love the ease and look of pocket diapers. I love that the new BG now have snaps so they're more durable and that the elastic is easily replaced. Since I plan to cloth diaper many children (we have 2 now but want a large family) durability is a must for me!

Still trying to figure that out. Currently liking fitteds or infant prefolds with covers for day and pockets (BG 3.0) for night. Just ordered a Flip day pack and considering trying some different pockets.

I think I would choose BumGenius pocket diapers just because they were my first SUPER great experience with a pocket diaper so I know I can rely on them. With soon to be 5 children, 2 in diapers and one still at night I need something I KNOW I can depend on. I am a fan of Diaper Shops and Kelly's Diapers on FB name is Tonya Hankins

I'm a fan on facebook! My fb profile is Rachel Katherine Frederick. I'm still pregnant with my 1st, but have always wanted to cloth diaper and am trying to learn as much as possible before I buy our stash. Would it be a good idea to have multiple kinds? It seems like everyone has a different favorite for each situation… My hubby is resistant to CDing, but if it's easy I think he'd be on board.

We use the AIO's and pocket diapers mainly. I think it is easiest for all to use and we love bumgenius! They are easy to launder and my husband is even comfortable cloth diapering now. (We started about 6 weeks ago). Since we just started we are trying to add to our stash and my new found "fluff" addiction 🙂

If I had to pick one style/brand of diaper it would probably be BG. Even though I hate the Aplix (we have the old 3.0 before they started offering snaps), they just work and we rarely have leaks. Though I would LOVE to try the new 4.0 w/snaps… but can't justify it since my boys are nearing the PT stage (hopefully starting in earnest next month!).

So far, my favorite is Knicker Nappies. The OS snaps seem to work best for us and honestly, they're just soooo darn cute! I've only tried a few different brands, but of those I've tried. I love our Knicker Nappies. 🙂
